Well, feed the French and kill the Germans

About Me
- Jeffro
- I've lived here on The Poor Farm most of my life. Located in western Kansas, where the wind blows - supposedly the Dodge City weather station at the airport has the highest average wind speed in the CONUS. It would be the "sticks" out here if there were any trees, but I like it. I really like the spring - when it is calm, and the smell of the fresh wheat and other plants fill the air with a unique "green" smell. My real love is the fall, when the air is cooling and calm, when you breath the air it is like a drink of cool water. Speaking of cool water, my well produces some mighty good tasting stuff. It is hard water for sure - all the faucets have lime on them, but I'll take it over soft mossy smelling reservoir water from the city any day.

It's the choices that make us who we are, and we can always choose to do what's right.

I love this: "For a labor charge of $20 to $25.00 you can have your motor and transmission completely overhauled."
I just called up Infiniti's price list for just the engine work: 27.6 hours. At $110 per, we're talking $3000. Of course, that's a six-cylinder car. :)
Boy did that bring a smile to my face! Great stuff, thanks.
MY Dad worked at the local garage i the 30's. He said a man came and asked the boss what an over haul would cost. Roy quoted him $10. The man took Dad to th side and asked if he would take the car home and do it for less. Dad told him he wouldn't as he didn't think that was right or the way to treat the man who was paying him a whole $1 a day.
Different times in more ways than one!
